We are trying to integrate discourse to WordPress in a way where we are able to fetch the engagement data (views, replies) and the title, topic and display it on WordPress.
The discourse WP plugin offers is the ability to show a thread at the end of a blog by disabling the comments of the blog.
What we want to achieve is the ability to display the topic, with the engagement on it in form of a shortcode. Is that possible at all??
I just wrote up a new section in the WP Discourse Tips and Tricks topic describing how to obtain and display the metadata of a connected Discourse topic in Wordpress. Let me know if that’s what you’re after.
